An overview of the Symbology toolset

The Symbology toolset contains tools to help manage the visualization of Production Mapping data. Views and visual specifications use map settings and representation rules to control how a map displays features. Views impact map settings like coordinate system, scale, and layer masking. Visual specifications define representation rules for feature classes.
